Liturgical Music Today says about cantors, “Among music ministers, the cantor has come to be recognized as having a crucial role in the development of congregational singing. Besides being qualified to lead singing, he or she must have the skills to introduce and teach new music, and to encourage the assembly.” St. John’s is blessed to have committed and qualified parishioners who fill this indispensable role at each of our weekend Masses, as well as other liturgical celebrations where music is present. New people are always welcome to contact Tim Malone and enter an informal interview and musical assessment process.
